Senator Cullom Interviewed ms to the
Amendments Proposed.
Chicago, August 27.-Senator Cullom
is in the city. He refuses to talk politics,
but said in reference to his Inter State
Commerce bill: Under the law the Inter
State Commission is charged with the duty
Of reporting amendments to the act to the
Secretary of the Interior, who win report
them % Congress. I anticipate certain
will be suggested, rs the prac-
tical working Of the law has shown il to
possessa few minor defects. That was 10
be expected, as no matter how perfect a
thing may be, the moment it is pnt into
practice there are certain 10 be
some whom il will hurt
in some way. The other day / had a con-
versation with large wagon and carriage
manufacturers, and he was very bitter
against the bill because il shut off his free
passes. He said before the bill became 4
law railroads furnished him with blank
passes, and when any of his customers
wanted 10 come TO Chicago TO visit his
factory, all he had to do was to
FILL OUT PASS
and thsshiDg was settled. Ireplied that
that was one oil the bene6cient features Of
bill, as under the old system he was given
an advantage over small fellows. He
finally admitted the justness OF the bill.
And so the thing runs. There are thous-
ands who are benefited Now, / think
we will always have bill of the kind on
our statute books, but look for modifca-
tions from time to time. Interstate legis-
latiou has come to stay."

ing, Just before the east-bound fast passen-
ger was due, discovered piece Of railroad
iron firmly placed between two ties in such
q manner as would have wrecked the first

CHASTITY wreck, throwing the train filled
with passengers down the embankment
into the river one hundred feet below.
After he had removed it he heard pistol
shot fred below the bridge, supposed to
have been a signal. Two suspicious look
ing men had been seen around the bridge
during the night, but no trace Of them

An Engagement Broken and tho Principals
Commit Suicide.
DAYTON, O., August 27.-A sensation
was created at Miamisburg, yesterday, by
the announcement that Alfred Hueber, q
wealthy farmer, had committed suicide.
lie committed the deed with a gun,
resting it on timber and pulling the trig-
ger with a string. The entire top of his
head was blown off.
Some twenty years ago he was engaged
to marry Miss Rilla Kramer, handsome
young lady living at Miamisburg. Soon
after he left for the West, engaged in busi-
ness, and expected to fulfill his promise of
marriage. His affairs failed to take the
turn expected, however, and it was but a
short time until he was compelled to turn
over his business to his creditors. This
caused him to break the engagement, and
in letter to Miss Kramer he explained
his reason for so doing.
This unexpected news unnerved Miss
Kramer, who took poison and ended her
life. Before doing 80, however, she sent n
letter to Hueber saying that his action i'm
PEELED her to the deed. This letter and
her selEdestruction have been preyiug on
Hueber's mind, and upon number Of oc-
casions shortly after her death he threat
ened suicide.
About fourteen years ago Hueber married
q young lady of Miamisburg, but lately
the death OF his old love had again been
disturbing him. His family had lately
noticed his strange conduct, but were un-
able to account for it.

Cruelty,
OTTAWA, Ont, August27.-Rev. Joseph
White, pastor Of the Rochesterville Presby-
terian church, publishes letter making a
serious charge against the officials of the
Ottawa Jail with respect to their treatment
of an insane lady temporarily confined
there while waiting to be transported to
the insane asylum at Toronto.
The lady is Mrs. John Rdmundson, for
many years a resident of Rochesterville,
where some of her children still reside,
and more recently of Chicago. Mrs. Ed
mundson was confined eight days in the
Jail before her friends were permitted to
see her. During that time the weather
had become chilly, and the only clothing
the poor creature had was q thin cotton
wrapper. She was blue with cold, and
trembling from head to foot. Her feet,
limbs and hands were badly swollen.
There was no blanket in the room, and
not even mattress for her to lie on.
The Jail officials said her clothes were
removed to prevent her from tearing them
up. When they were bnught to her,
however, she had reason enough left to
know their use, for she Immediately pro-
ceeded TO put them on, and pleaded with
her daughter to take her away.

Citizens of Mexico Stirred Up Over Re-
ported Miracle.
CITY OF MEXICO, August 2.-SOme
excitement has been caused here among
credulous people by reported miracle.
A small light appeared near the pavement
in the court yard of house in this city,
and the explanation of pious people was
that this mysterious light indicated the
resting place OF Juan Diego, an Indian,
to whom appeared in ancient times the
Virgin of Guadaloupe, an incident of much
importance in the annals of the Mexican
nation; but as Juan Diego was buried in
the sanctuary Of the church in the town of
Guadalupe it became necessary to explain
how he got under the portico of house;
and so theological. scientist stated that
by a movement of the strata Of earth con-
tanning the body it had been brought four
miles into the city and deposited under
the pavement of the house and no attempt
was made 10 dig for the body. An unbe-
lieving newspaper man says that the
mysterious light is the result of broken
gas pipe Credulous people still stand by
theory Of a miraculous deposit Of the body
Of Juan Diego under the pavement of the
court yard. A great celebration, at which
will occur the coronation Of the virgin,
will take place next December and it is
believed by pious people that many mira
cles are likely TO occur.

the country. -.
was argued that other means should
be resorted 10 to obtain the desired ad-
vance, and that it would be much more
satisfactory if the National Board could,
by a conference with the stove mannfac-
turers, bring about an amicable agreement
on the question of wages
The proposition to demand 10 per cent
increase was rejected. One reason for this,
as stated by a member, was that the union
preferred to be guided to some extent by
the stove molders of Cincinnati, who had
taken no action as yet. Another reason
was that the conditions in Chicago were
not favorable for such a demand at the
present time, and that it would be unwise
under the circumstances TO attempt to en-
force it

Oxey Cherry, twelve years old girl, con-
victed of murder, and to be hanged in Sep
tember, to Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for five years. The Governor re-
ceived large number Of communications
pleading for mercy for the child. He
made thorough examination of the case
and could find nothing but evidence of a
premeditated murder. The girl was con-
victed of killing two year old white
child with dose of concentrated lye. The
Governor appealed to the Judge who passed
sentence for recommendation. The judge
replied a case of murder had been made
out, but on account of the tender age Of
the girl, he thought she should not be
hanged, but should be imprisoned for q
term of years.

In the Steerags.
NEW YORK, August 2.--Inspector
Byrnes' detectives, on a cable message
from Europe met the steamship Adriatic
upon her arrival, and arrested a man and
woman charged with adultery and lar
ceny.
The prisoners are Rev. David Seymour,
of the NJ. +. Church, at Janesville, Waseca
county, Mimi, and Mrs. Fanny Henry,
wife of the editor OF the Janesville Argus
The couple eloped on August /. Sey-
mour took 500 in church funds and with
the woman came to this city. They were
pursued by Henry and his brother-in-law.
The clipping couple sailed for Europe and
doubled Oh their trail by coming back to
New York. Henry had crossed the Allan
tic also. Finding the trail doubled he
cabled back to Inspector Byrnes, who ar
rested the elopers, as noted above.
In the police court to-day both were
held to await the arrival of Henry by the
next steamer. The erring couple were
four days at Liverpool before they learned
that the irate husband was close upon their
heels. They at once took the first steamer
back for this country. The husband. up
on hearing this, at once telegraphed to In
spector Byrnes and the authorities mt
Minnesota asking that the pair he inter
cepted. The detective who made the arrest

THE PATENT VALID.
A Decision Rendered In Long Contested
Patent Suit.

Patent Suit.
CHICAGO, August 27.-In the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, Judge
Gresham delivered an opinion in the long
litigated Hammerschlag waxed paper pat
ent case.
His decision sustained the validity of
the Hammerschlag patent, which was con-
tested by the defendants, who were sued
for infringement.
The claim of the defense, that the pat
ents are invalid because the process was an
old one and h2d been used in England,
was considered by the Court, but he did
not regard it as sufficient. The Hammer
schlag process had been shown to he a diff
ferent one from those previously used, and
it had cheapened the production of the
material as well as improved the quality.
1t, therefore, deserved TO be protected by
the courts.
In the arguments in this case, ex-Sena-
tor Roscoe Conkling was heard as counsel
for Hammerschlag few weeks ago, and it
was, perhaps. owing to his eloquent style
of setting forth the case which won the
victory for his client.
